The component provides poor and vulnerable households, including IDPs and host communities, with income support, consumption smoothing, and employment support, while simultaneously encouraging investments in human capital development and productive activities. It builds on implementation experience under the SSNP, which has been implemented since 2013. The team managing the project has progressively built technical and operational capacity and has the capacity to deliver the activities proposed under this component.
